One of the most interesting ways for tourists to see how the locals live is by seeing a home tour in California. Among the favorites is San Francisco Decorator Showcase (decoratorshowcase.org), which annually features the design work of guest talents–landscape architects, designers and artists–who work their magic on one special place within the city. Visitors have over one month April 21-May 27, 2013 to see Georgian-style Herbst Manor mansion transformed. Sitting atop Pacific Heights, the 1899 Ernest Coxhead home is historically significant. It features stunning old-world craftsmanship and sweeping panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and the city. The elegant brick structure includes spacious formal rooms, a dramatic grand stairway, and a beautiful penthouse suite with a wrap-around terrace and 360-degree views. SEE California home tours throughout the state.
